@Jp: The war film you're trying to think of is "Casualties of War". It's a pretty gritty flick and established Fox as a serious actor, IMO. -- Submitted By: (Mythigator) on September 11, 2012, 7:56 am - (1 votes)

I, Too, thought he was great in BTTF. His Alex Keaton character pretty much launched his career, imo. His roles in Doc Hollywood and Teen Wolf, although silly, fit him well. Spin city was good. I can't remember the name of the movie but he was in a War Film with Sean Penn that was good. It's kind of sad really that he has Parkinsons but at least he's trying to continue living his life and working. In some, maybe vain way, trying to beat the disease. Its not like he's Brett Favre, who cried like a b**ch during his first retirement then came back to a rival team to play QB. -- Submitted By: (Jp) on September 6, 2012, 8:42 pm - (1 votes)

Always been a fan of Michael J. Fox. He's a likable smart alec, which is what many of my friends are like. He was the only bright spot of the otherwise bland Family Ties and he was a large reason why Back to the Future was such a strong franchise. If his meds are helping him enough that he can act again, I say go for it. Good for him and his improving health. Never boned. -- Submitted By: (kingbk) on September 6, 2012, 4:33 pm - (1 votes)

Locutus,
As sad as it's been to see him deteriorate from the Parkinson's, I think it's great he still wants to do what he can to earn a living and support his family and I hope he can do his impending show without any health setbacks. Oh, and for the record I've always liked his performances in his movies and TV shows. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on September 6, 2012, 12:20 pm - (0 votes)

Disagree. He was great in BTTF. He was also the highlight of Family Ties, an otherwise unremarkable (yet popular) '80s sitcom. As for his comeback, it's his choice. Although I think if his appearance is "sad", viewers will tune out. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on September 5, 2012, 11:39 pm - (0 votes)

How many times is he going to retire due to health reasons then come back? He was only moderately good in BTTF and sucked in just about everything else. So retire and mean it! -- Submitted By: (Locutus) on September 5, 2012, 10:48 am - (2 votes)
